A brief pulse ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) machine is a medical device used to deliver controlled electrical impulses to the brain to treat severe mental health conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. It generates brief pulses of electric current, typically lasting 1 millisecond or less, to induce a controlled seizure in the brain. This short duration of pulses reduces the cognitive side effects compared to older ECT methods. The treatment is done under anesthesia, ensuring that the patient experiences no discomfort. Brief pulse ECT machines are highly regulated, and their use has been proven effective, especially when other treatments, like medication, fail to provide relief.
